As in what you'd find in the wild, yeah there are some sites that will ID them fairly accurately.

As in captive animals outside of Austrailia? Nope... there has been so much interbreeding of the subspecies it's nearly impossible to lable anything as a jungle, coastal, inland, bredli, etc. There are a few exceptions of breeders that are producing high quality pure animals, but typically anything you see labled as a jungle has coastal mixed in, or is an IJ, etc. The people of this forum can typically give you a general idea of your snake's background if you post a picture, but even then it's just an educated guess, unless it's blaringly pure, like a bright orange NG or red IJ, or black and yellow jungle.

It's just up to the individual breeder as to what they use.

I've adopted the Condro ID convention, but altered it slightly to denote the clutch number...Here's one for an example.

AC.2004.5.M3.Msm

The first initials (AC) stand for the breeder's first and last initials (Anthony Caponetto)

The first numbers are for the year (2004)

The next number (5) is clutch number for the year (clutch 5)

The next alphanumeric set (M3) stands for the sex and what number from the clutch (Male 3)

The last set of initials (Msm in this case) stand for Morelia spilota mcdowelli.

Yeah i'm kinda confused now too I thought he was asking if there was a way to identify specific localities, as in the gtp's.
